Deterministic polarization chaos from a laser diode

Theoretically a convergence of the GP algorithm is sufficient to demonstrate chaos and estimate its finite correlation dimension. However it has been reported that in some cases where the experimental time-series are perturbed by coloured noises, the computed correlation dimension from GP algorithm may be finite although the dynamics is not deterministic chaos . This is particularly true since, due to physical and/or technological and/or numerical limitations, the analyzed time-series are short and noisy and the GP algorithm can be fooled by peculiar noisy dataset. However the flaws can be addressed by performing few additional tests as suggested by Provenzale et al. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION DOI: 10.1038/NPHOTON.2012.286
